Does this USB come with encryption software installed?

No, the one I got at least was just a blank USB drive. But it is a good one. Truecrypt used to be a standard, but they stopped development. Bitlocker in Windows seems to work well.

I'm fairly certain the answer is no. Usually a device can be reformatted via the operating system or an operating system's disk utility app to handle OS level encryption. For example: http://lifehacker.com/5677725/five-best-file-encryption-tools You can also optionally encrypt individual files via an app or the command-line. Openssl has this command-line utility for example: https://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/enc.html#EXAMPLES

I have one of these and there is no security software included. It is just a raw storage device.

Yes, treat it as a standard removable usb drive, don't run the "backup" software.

I'm pretty sure there is no software. The only thing the USB is for is power.

Hi Jun,Yes I have... and erased it very quickly!Here's what happened. I installed the programme as instructed. It worked beautifully... until I tried to start up one day and my PC replied it had to do something as apparently I had switched it off incorrectly... Usually this is quite harmless and windows starts up without any problems... but you've guessed it: not when the system has been crypted. After having tried everything, I had to use the Rescuedisk I had made to decrypt my laptop... which took a cool 26 hours!So... I have been cured and removed TrueCrypt as soon as the laptop worked again! Hi Jun,Yes I have... and erased it very quickly!Here's what happened. I installed the programme as instructed.

No it does not. You don't need any software as you are only connecting devices as external drives. It works like a charm!

Not that I know of. So I just wrote a list of my passwords on a piece of paper and put the paper in my safe. No plugs or USB slots to use on the device to do any of those things you mentioned. Sorry but I do love mine for I just leave it out on the counter at all times and when needed I just pick it up and check out my passwords without the worry of anyone ever getting any access to them.

While I do not use Win 8.1, USB is supported across OS platforms as an independent standard. The file system formatting is FAT32, again recognized across Windows variants, including 8.1, and Unix variants, such as Linux, OSX, IOS, Android. Encryption is done in hardware with the PIN entry mechanically entered on the device before the computer ever sees it. You will not have a problem with Win 8.1 if any other USB device works.

All flash drives (jump drives; whatever) come with some 'firm-wear' that allows them to communicate with a new computer. This particular model not only comes with the basic interactive programming but it also includes an option to let you encrypt whatever you store on the flash drive. You do not have to use the encryption option but if you do, no one will be able to see the contents that you encrypted without a password. There is no such thing as a truly blank flash drive - your computer will recognize it as a 'mass storage device' or a 'disc drive.'

do you have antivirus software installed? some of them may block your USB port.

As long as your computer equipment has the appropriate usb driver program installed (most do) it should work. A more pressing concern might be whether or not you choose to password protect or encrypt the files to prevent loss of privacy in the event the drive is lost or stolen. I haven't personally explored this function on the drive.

1. No, this one doesn't use a password to access the drive.2 USB 3 cable is 2 ft long.

Hi Chris, The DT Locker Plus G3 flash drive is a personal level secure drive and uses basic AES with at least 128-bit level encryption. If you require a certain level of encryption it would be best to consider one of our business level encryption drives, described here: http://www.kingston.com/datasheets/Secure_Comparison_Chart_US.pdf Thank you for your interest in the DTLPG3! -Jewel, Kingston US Technical Support

No on board software for that. You can get software separately. However, I use mine both encrypted and not. The bulk of my data (photos, reading/reference, tools and such) do not need encryption. I do, however, keep my financial info on there encrypted by using a free tool called TrueCrypt.

The drive do not come with build in firmware encryption. It is like a regular fast speed SSD 512gb drive. I use a Windows 7 bit blocker and other encryption software.

Different model. Flash drive the same but the other model has no keyring. Check out SDC36-016G-A11 model.

This device has no built in encryption options. You can however use additional software such as truecrypt to make the volume encrypted.
